Abstract

Cet article décrit le comportement de radicaux libres dans le cristal antiferroélectrique de NH4H2AsO4 et le compare à celui de ces mêmes radicaux dans le ferroélectrique KH2AsO4. A la transition de phase, les modifications que subissent les espèces radicalaires sont interprétées en liaison avec l'abaissement de symétrie et l'établissement de l'ordre antiferro-électrique. Des transformations interradicalaires thermiquement réversibles sont mises en évidence ; elles se caractérisent par une variation du nombre de protons en interaction avec l'électron non apparié.

This paper describes the behaviour of free radicals in the antiferroelectric crystal NH4H2AsO4 and compares it with the behaviour of the same radicals in the ferroelectric KH2AsO4. The changes undergone by the paramagnetic species at the phase transition are interpreted in terms of the symmetry lowering and the antiferroelectric ordering. Thermally reversible transformations between radicals are observed; these are characterized by a change in the number of protons interacting with the unpaired electron.
